► There is a (eeiing ol togetherness once the tryouts are over and practice starts ▼ For Jill Bergeron there is still some tun in tryouts Tryouts We actually started the night before the real performance. As we lay in bed. we ran it through our heads over and over as to |ust how it should be done Finally, when our minds and emotions were exhausted we drifted off to sleep. We awakened the next morning being able only to stare at our bowls of cornflakes. It was funny how butterflies just seemed to hatch in our stomachs over night. As we waited out the day and watched the time for our tryouts coming nearer and nearer, our palms became increasingly sweatier, our fingernails shorter and shorter. Suddenly our names were called and we walked, hesitantly into position We swallowed hard and our throats stung with pain. We now had to do our best for this was when it counted most during tryouts. AWith concentration and dedication. Carol Gustafson uses her ability to improve her bumping skill. 10 Production

Seniors ▼Dave Knutsen shows how money can be used to captivate one's attention while working Cn Location Whether it was used for a car. saved for college tuition, spent to buy a glass on Saturday night, or used for munchies, money was a must for seniors. Since allowance had been cut out by parents some years ago. seniors resorted to jobs; they went on location to acquire some '‘cents from the working world. Seniors tried to get jobs that paid well, but not all succeeded. Wages ranged from $3.10 to $5.75 per hour. Dietary jobs in hospitals and nursing homes which involved preparation of food, clearing tables, unloading carts, or washing dishes, paid very well. A uniform of white and hair covering had to be worn, but many knew the money was worth the bother. Drug stores and grocery stores like Park Market. Byerly’s. Applebaums. Target, and Town Drug, hired students for stocking the shelves, bagging groceries, and working the cash registers. Other seniors chose sales of clothing, ski equipment, or fast food at establishments like Powers. Dayton’s Macho. Total Sports. Hoigaards, Arby’s, and McDonald’s. Seniors either played the stars who greeted the customers, or they were part of the crew who worked in the back to make their production go smoothly. ►Finishing up his required work, Jim Schroeder steers crates of eggs to be stocked ▼About to disassemble patients' trays is Lynn Bradley, employee of Westwood Nursing Home. 12 Productions
